The policy may pay presently-al-

prove iuinous to every white mans in

AN INJUSTICE.

Presumably the Gazette was under a
wrong impression when it gave publ
cly to the following reflection on'the
Government physician of Kau:-
eve should like to know what action
has been taken by the Board with
regard to the physician OF the Kau dis
trict, who found during the earthquake
scare in that district that his presence
was necessary in Honolulu, and left
the sick of the district to do the best
they could without him. Some notice
should be taken and some explanation
given"
DR.. Oliver is Government physician
in the district referred to, and he never
left Kau during the earthquake scare
but remained at his post He is the
longest in service Of all the doctors EN-
ployed by the Board Of Health, as
well as one Of the very most esteemed
by that body The doctor who came
to Honolulu from Kau, owing to the
very excusable nervousness of his wife

THE NEW CHINATOWN.


When new Chinatown is finished,
equipped and stocked with goods, il
will present attractions to the multitude
which will initiate seriously, no doubt,
against trade in the older commercial
quarters Of the city, where the stores
owned by people of European race are
situated. To offset the Chinese com
petition then it will be absolutely neces-
sary for storekeepets in the Caucasian
district 70 have that part Of the town
improved in respect to the comfort,
convenience and predictions for taste

They will have to insist upon the Gov
eminent doing its part in carrying out
the law to regulate the grade and width
of sidewalks. The retail business
will also have to be better lighted,
either by the Government or by
priva,e enterprise, although per
haps the intentions of The former

given reasonable time for develop.
ment. With The Caucasian district
put in as presentable an appearance as
the Chinese, the trade of the former
should not be fatally sapped by the
latter If the Chinese pay higher rents
that must be demanded for their better
buildings since the fire, also their full
quota Of all taxes, they cannot afford
to materially undersell the white deal
ers, particularly those OF the latter who
are direct importers. 1t is true that
white wholesale firms are at the back
of great deal Of the Chinese trade,
YET the records of the bankruptcy divi-
sion of the Supreme Court for the past
few years are likely 10 be enectual, to a
great extent in lettering needless
credits TO Chinese stores. White PEG
pie will, moreover, in time learn that
they gain little or nothing in the long
run by buying many articles produced
by Chinese handicraft simply on The
score of cheapness. At all events
nobody who depends upon the Gus

The capacity OF the iron horse for
covering space has just been success
fully tested, the occasion being an Incl

Prince William OF Prussia to the Gar
daring the recent maneuvers in Poland.
The day before The arrival of the
Prince, about four o'clock in the after
noon, Gar Alexander, who had already
arrived at Brest-Litovsk, ordered his
valet to get his Prussian uniform ready
for the next day. "But your Majesty
the valet replied, ''we have no Prussian
uniform here; your Majesty ordered me
TO leave it behind at ST. Petersburg"
"Most ve1ing misunderstanding" the
Emperor exclaimed, and called The
Aide-de.camp on duty "My Prussian
uniform must be here at 7 O'Clock to-
morrow morning." was the peremptory
order of the Car. The Adjutant bow
ed and retired. Two minutes later he
sent telegram 10 the imperial ward
robe Office at ST. Petersburg and an
other 10 the Warsaw Railway. AT 6
o'clock in the evening a locomotive
was ready to start from ST. Petersburg.
An imperial courier with the trunk
containing the uniform mounted the
engine, and the race against tinSe be-
gan. Relay locomotives were held in
readiness at Dunnaburg and wilma to
take up the courier and continue the
run, as no single engine could have
made a continuous run Of such q

the task assigned to them, and to use a
sporting phrase, "came up smiling" or

New Zealand is strong competitor
With Hawaii in volcanic phenomena on
a large scale. A Rotorua letter dated
January 18th in the Auckland Herald
says: "a powerful geyser at Ohinetiu-
aku, in The vicinity Of the Paeroa
Range, has been in active play during
the past week. The outburst was pre-
ceded by low rumbling noise
and earth tremor, with loud eSplo
sion. Great volumes of mud were
shot up into The air, and continued
playing for two days, covering about
four acres with mud to depth six feet

The following story is told on the

mode of Lord Randolph's resignation
has excited a-good deal of comment
but it is not the first time he has done
an eccentric thing. On the occasion
of a former political difference we are
told, on good authority, he not only
called out Lord Harrington, but also
sent a formal challenge to his Royal

invitation was'in both cases very de.

The exclusion OF colored people from
Ashbury Park resorts aroused indig-
nation in certain quarters, but 1.-The
newspapers that have had so much to
say about the treatment OF negroes in
the south do not devote great deal
OF space to this particular topic, for
reasons that are apparent toall, They
are fond of condemning certain things
in the south, but are disposed to re-
main as quiet as possible where the
north is concerned. The southern
newspapers have often called atten-
ton to this fact, but the journals re-
ferred to ignore the utterances of their
contemporaries, and take advantage
OF every opportunity to show how lit
tie they really know about the citizens
of this section.
Since the color-line was drawn at
Ashbury park, the general manager Of
the International military encamp-
ment to be held at Chicago next fall
has made the official announcement
that colored troops will not be per-
mitted to attend, 1t would naturally
be expected that the columns of the
newspapers so addicted to abuse OF
the south would be filled with protests
against the action of the men in
charge of the encampment, but as yet
we have seen no such matter. These
moulders of public opinion severely
criticised the white companies that
refused to take part in the drills at
Washington because colored troops
were allowed to enter keeping the sub
ject before their readers day after day
but when colored soldiers are barred
from an international encampment
they are as silent as the tOmb.-NdSh-
Ujlle Banner.
